I like the name [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], but I’m writing a story and I don’t think it’s right for the character. She’s the main character and it’s set around the 1860s. What’s a good name instead of [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]? I thought at first [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] or [name_f]Holly[/name_f], but those didn’t work. It needs to be old fashion, nothing like [name_f]Esme[/name_f] or [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but not to plain, like [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_f]Mary[/name_f]. I like the names [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f], but they’re just not right. She’s not an adult, too. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks!
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]?

Perhaps [name_f]Constance[/name_f]? It means strong willed. Or [name_f]Maud[/name_f], meaning powerful batteler. Both were very popular in 1860.
